Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

A wonderful hippy haven, more similar to what you might find in SE Asia. The river is right at the hostel, with howler monkeys in the trees. It is a longish walk to a very secluded stretch of beach. And there's also a walk to an amazing waterfall.

GermanyWe arrived on a Sunday and the kitchen was a filthy mess. During the week it got cleaned once in the morning which didn't last long. The facilities are not a lot for so many people and in bad shape. The fridge is a joke: completely full and no shelves inside. The vibes with all the volunteers were strange. Nobody really said hi, it was like a Comuna with barely any guests. Most importantly: the river right next to the property got a huge dam so you got no nice views or direct access.
The cabaña is located in the very corner of the complex which makes it pretty quiet and private. The bed is comfortable and the balcony with the hammock is a big plus. The shared bathroom was cleaned every day. The hosts are very nice and considered (they're preparing for a festival so there's lots of construction in the garden happening plus rave music playing which they turned off immediately after mentioning we'd like some peace) The location is safe and good for different purposes.

La playita is a really relaxed place by the river after the village of guacahaca. Made by this really nice couple of ravers that are building their rave paradise. The hostel very chill simple and basic but great vibe and you get free avocados aswell! It's very quiet and chilll most of the time but occasionaly theres a fun techno rave going on the big pirate ship outside the hostel.

NetherlandsIt's really noisy during the night because the rooms are basically open and there is lots of dogs that bark during the night. Our room was directly above the common area which means whenever someone was smoking we had all the smell in our room. The fridge was pretty filthy, the kitchen was kind of clean but had really bad smells (my guess is the piping is done very rudimentarily and there is no siphon and the trash wasn't emptied regularly). There is a lot of mosquitos (more than anywhere else I've been in Colombia). The river doesn't look like on the pictures anymore and a lot of information here on booking is outdated and simply wrong.
The bathrooms were well cleaned every day and the cleaning service did our laundry well for a reasonable price.
